Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Got the cab I'm going to be using with the Traynor. Stock Celestion G12H30 may get swapped out for a V30, must test it out as is first.

Replaced the Model J's in my custom Jazz with Quarter Pounders. I dig it. A bit more scooped (due to the higher induction from the more winds/higher output) compared to the Model J's but gobs more output and growl. I prefer Alnico V to ceramic as well. Nice that they use true pole piece magnets as opposed to ceramic bars and slugs like cheaper pickups.
 
So I'm wanting to build two 2x15 cabs with eminence 3015 speakers. Where is a good cab design to start with? I have a dually and I love it but don't want to spend the cash to have another made when I could do it myself for atleast a couple hundred bucks cheaper. So as close to the dually's design as I could get would be awesome.

If you look up JohnK's DIY 2x15 cab, that would probably be a good place to start. He used pretty thin plywood, which I'm guessing you probably wouldn't be, but it's only the internal dimensions/volume that really matter.

I agree, I used JohnK's design as a basis for my own, and it turned out great.
 
I am much excite!
I do have a 470pf ceramic cap, ceramic, of unknown age. I opened up the pedal, the one that's in there is higher quality, looks like metal film or mica so I'm going shopping at a buddy's place tomorrow, he's pretty sure he's got some higher quality ones that'll work. This week isn't very busy, so I should have it turned around fairly quickly.

Let me know if you need some more scratch for parts.
 
Yob.

Also, decided I have to do more solo recording. Always have, but stepping it up.

My partner in Texas is the most creative guy on Earth but he's so schizoid it makes it hard. I am still working with him, and will continue to, and I dig it, but just since August we've veered from doing garage rock and surfy stuff to him wanting to go alt country to trying really heavy rock and then crusty, snotty punk. Now he wants to do electronic experimental noise and ambient stuff. And we've had good results already...I enjoy doing it, but it's awful hard to keep up with.

I feel like tomorrow he might very likely send me an email wanting to do old English madrigals, and the day after be on a ska kick. Not even exaggerating.

Welp, got put on indefinite leave from work yesterday due to a slow down and not having enough to do. Trying to get hired at an ISP, so hopefully that pans out soon. On the plus side, I've got a gig with the funk band tomorrow. I'll be using the 4001 into a Sunn 2000s rig, can't think of a more hilariously mismatched rig for the genre. But hey, those amps can put out a lot of low end, and it's been sounding pretty solid in practice.
 
So Hulu was free

Then no commercials cost extra

Then commercials came back

Then no commercials cost extra

Now a lot of shows start by saying we don't honor no commercials so here's some anyways.

We did the original Hulu paid version, then the Premium and you should hear my wife go off about this subject. She gets a real bee in her bonnet when one of those "sorry, we're showing you a commercial anyway" things comes up.
